Welcome to the
Hampshire Astronomical Group

Based high on a hill on the South Coast of England in the village of Clanfield, between Petersfield and Portsmouth, you will find one of the largest and most superbly equipped amateur observatories in England with a very active and keen membership of observers.

We have a full program of Public Open evenings throughout the year at the Observatory coupled with monthly, entertaining and informative, talks at the Memorial Hall in Clanfield Village which you are more than welcome to attend.

If you are interested and would like to know more please feel free to browse this web-site. If we have fired your imagination and would like to join us then visit our 'joining page' and download an application form.

Thank you for visiting our web-site, it is constantly up-dated, so please re visit often.  If you have any suggestions on how we can improve on it, or would like to see anything included, then please do let me know.

Clear Nights and Dark Skies,

Richard Judd - President

Sun Earth Plan

Let me introduce myself.  I'm a space scientist working at Lancaster 
University and I coordinate the public-facing www.sunearthplan.net 
website (funded by the Science & Technology Research Council).

This site highlights UK space research. 

We are currently running a 
visitor survey to try and gather some feedback, with a chance to win a 
sunearthplan.net engraved iPod for those who participate

I'd be most 
grateful if you would visit the site and the survey (running until 
the end of July). 

The more feedback 
we get, the better!

Dr. Jim Wild
